Soul Reaver 2 Beta - Vampire Cutscenes

- These are the 4 vampires you can encounter in cutscenes.
Sadly, these scenes are unfinished and have been removed from the final game. The first encounter takes place in the vampire hunter era, second one in the Sarafan era. It is safe to assume that the Sarafan era vampires had also a follow up cutscene, but that is inaccessible due to crashing, unfortunately.
Huge thanks to the anonymous contributor who made this possible and Hidden Palace!

“What are you?”

I knew there was more to that concept art of SR2 female vampires! So happy to see all of this surfacing even if it is 20 years later. Thank god that this beta didn't die to disk rot!
0:04 Raziel: "Dafuq?!"
That's really cool, actually. Would've love to see more of the Vampire society prior Kain's reign.
The fact that new things like this are being discovered about the Legacy of Kain series, is a truer statement to me that this series will never die than any remake could ever hope to be.
It is beautiful, on the one hand it is a great feeling to discover the cut content from the game, but on the other hand it is painful that it did not get into the game. Great job!
Sad they didn't use them in the final game, would add more brutality to the human crusade, and make Raziel evem more lonely, as not welcomed by the 'classic' vampires.
yea, fr
This is really interesting, how the generation of pre blood omen era would take raziel appearance.
Damn, this definitely would've made the world feel more organic and alive (lol). Although fitting, seeing the environments dead and barren and the lack of a societal life (human or vampire) did put a damper on the game a bit. I really liked the Citadel in SR1, and Nosgoth as a whole in BO1.
Humans (Serafan to be more precise): kills vampires brutally
Vampires: "We must find a way to stop these loathsome humans!"
Also vampires: butchered humans brutally (like Faustus in BO2), using them as cattle, enslaving them (Vorador), kidnapped their children to serve their pillars... without any explanation
must say this wouldve been interesting with raziel meeting old vampires
genuinely sad this was cut. I always try to move on but then something new comes out and breaks my heart all over again regarding Legacy of Kain.
Poor Raziel...🥺💙
The beta is just as cool as I had once hoped as a kid. Now I finally got to see it. Vae Victus...
Edit: I used to watch the trailer and it had all the beta stuff and I was always wondering what it was like.
SUCH a cool find!
I guess they had a reason to remove that from the game, but it was kind of cool to see that seen in the game and further development of the pre-blood omen vampires.
Wait, how did you get this? And ya know? This might be such a simple thing, but I think it would have made a HUGE difference in the game. I actually think these little snippets would improve the sense of different factions/parties roaming about. SR2 felt a bit too empty at times....considering the vast spans of land we were covering.
Search for Project Deluge, all your answers lie there! Yes, the world seems a lot more alive when there´s other creatures to encounter, shame.
@@RainaAudron Ooo....nice! Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely amazing and outstanding video thanks!🙂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
this is a great companion piece to meeting the passive humans in the first game.
Feel very lucky seeing this! Thank you all for your hard work as always :)
And why i had a fealing about choiceses and deferend endings, for vamrires or humans.And hthat depend on with side uoy are helping during the game story.
Uh-huh in motion, I repeat, we've got uh-huh IN MOTION!!!
I wonder how they would have fitted into the whole game. Were they a whole replacement for how devolved the clans became or were they just few vampires that managed to somehow keep themselves safe from their clans curses?
When you say devolved, if you're referring to how Rahab and Zephon and Melchiah were grotesque that is caused by Kain's impurity. Remember, Kain is the balance guardian, infected with Nupraptor's madness, but because it tainted him at birth he grew up with it and wasn't as deranged as the other guardians. But the poison is still in him and he passed it on to his "sons" when he breathed vampiric unlife into them. Raziel and Turel were the "oldest" followed by Dumah, Rahab, Zephon and Melchiah. You can track the degeneration of their forms based on age. Turel and Dumah were not nearly so deformed but they were still monstrous. Had Raziel not been executed by Kain he may have become something like a large bat creature or perhaps like a gargoyle.
It is these inhuman forms that are caused by Nupraptor's corruption, we see in Vorador, the oldest vampire, that vampirism seems to have a point at which it no longer alters the physical body and it certainly doesn't make them swell up into giant beasts. Kain doesn't seem very changed or monstrous either but that could be due to a few reasons. Either because the heart of darkness in him is holding his form where it is or Kain isn't actually thousands of years old. Raziel says he served Kain for a millennium this is true but Kain is also a time traveler. It's possible that while Nosgoth faded and decayed and the vampire clans degenerated it's possible that Kain, shortly after having Raziel executed, went to Chronoplast and skipped ahead a few centuries, got his sons in line so they didn't go crazy without him, skipped ahead a few more centuries and came back to do a little maintenance for Raziel's rebirth, then jumped ahead to the day Raziel emerged from the underworld. For Kain maybe a year would have gone by but for everyone else, taking the slow way through history, thousands of years would have gone by.
Okey, now i understand why the debelopers didn't include this cutscenes in the final version. The dialogues are not so well writted as they are in the final game, I mean maybe they had something more plausible and not so vague like this. The Vampires don't said nothing their lines are so predictable. If this was the original script I'm glad that they cut off this part.
Thanks Raina for take you the time and share all this content
I suspect these are just placeholders. Looks like they didn´t have time to polish them up and re-record so they cut the scenes instead.
Al parece ivan a parecer mas vampiros para interactuar aparte de janos, pero como estaban algo estatico por ser solo un prototipo
wait, more vampires exist during the games? we only see raziel and kain
time travel baby!
Myabe is it possibile to force our to way through the crashing point, like they are doing with Dinosaur Planet for N64?
Kevin Chatmajo already managed to get past the error, sadly, the cutscene is unfinished and only pans across the tents.
Raina audron si puede traducir esto por favor dejame ser curiosidades con tu contenido el credito sera tu yo
omg
I wounder if they had a story planed dor this
Not adding that in to the game was such a mistake! That would really make it more not THAT silent...
